chuckroSix friends (Michelle, Lindsay, Sarah, John, Brian and Michael) had a Secret Santa and gave each other presents (Socks, gloves, a sweater, an mp3 player, an umbrella and a cake). Each person gave one gift, each person got one gift. No one gave a gift to themself. The gifts are rather monochromatic, each one is a single color, and none of them are the same color. Who gave and recieved which present?
1. Michael hates getting clothing as a gift. Sucks to be him, because that’s what he got! (Not being a hypocrite, he didn’t give anyone clothing.)
2. John gave the mp3 player to a female friend, in a misplaced attempt to get into her pants. He received the brown gift.
3. Lindsay gave a red gift, and received a blue one.
4. Fortunately for all involved, the cake was the yellow gift. The green gift was an article of clothing, but not the one Michael received
5. Sarah received the black gift, and gave the gloves to a male friend.
6. The sweater is red.
7. Michelle is the baker of the group, she gave someone the cake.
8. Michael gave a gift to Sarah.
Note new clue #8, which should resolve the multiple solutions.
